“Said And Done; the dutch quintet that released a handful of 7″s, and a full length earlier took its time. The last two years they spent writing and recording “Better Days” their selves. Going back to where it all began for them for inspiration, the music they grew up on in the 90’s. A new lineup, a new record, time flies. Things have changed for sure. They used to have a short version of their biography that simply said hardcore. No idea if that still applies, purists will probably disagree. They’re still hardcore punk kids at heart, but their influences are way broader than that. Always have been. Check their record collections and you’ll find as much Bad Brains as Nirvana in there. Raw and melodic but above all, it has to be real.”

Joris and Kristof (Get Wise) from Belgium are back with a new issue of Living in Gomorrah. I didn’t read the first issue so I can’t compare, but this time they have interviews with Wardogs, Upright (check them out!), Reproach, Bang Bro’s and an interview with yours truly about Said And Done etc. amongst others. A Reflections Records tourreport, columns. It’s all there. It also features nice reviews of Some Will Never Know #2 and the Said And Done 7″ too, so I’m probably a bit biased when I say “pick this up!”, but really, pick this up. I’m going to keep an eye on them for issue #3 for sure.

If you read the previous issues you know you want to pick up Nab’s latest effort, Just Say Yo #4. I didn’t have the chance to fully read it, but what I saw so far looks even better than the previous issues (that I loved). So if you’re into zines, you want to pick this up. Recommended without a doubt.

It’s good to see new, young bands from the Netherlands rising up (it’s well needed). Especially if they’re as good as this. Inspired by bands as Minor Threat, Paint It Black and Panic as they say it themselves they’re taking the world by storm. Get with the program.
